It was an odd question.

By 'cartridge' I meant the stylus/needle, or whatever the correct term
is. These do wear out and need replacing from time to time, don't they?

Replace when they cause distortion or a microscope shows damage. They should last years. More or less all cartridges take a press-fit needle assembly, it's only expensive oddities that don't.

I used to use the sibilants from the 12" version of Orinoco Flow to
check the stylus, but I don't think my hearing is up to it now (loss of
high frequencies).
